About this app

Looking for a reliable, fast, and accurate way to find studs, metal framing, screws, and hidden wires behind your walls?

**Stud Finder: Wall Scanner** turns your smartphone into a high-precision wall scanning and stud detecting tool. Whether you are mounting a TV, hanging heavy mirrors, installing shelves, or doing DIY home remodeling, this app helps you drill safely by pinpointing hidden framing fasteners beneath drywall, plaster, and sheetrock.

🔍 HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Wood studs in drywall are held in place by metallic screws and framing nails. Your phone's built-in magnetic sensor (magnetometer) detects the subtle electromagnetic fluctuations caused by these metal fasteners, steel studs, pipes, and electrical conduit.

By scanning slowly across the wall surface, the real-time microTesla (µT) gauge tracks magnetic flux changes to pinpoint the exact center of the stud with precision haptic feedback.

⚡ KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Real-Time Precision Scanner: Accurate visual measurement gauge displaying live electromagnetic readings in microTesla (µT).
• Stud Lock Center Finder: Visual crosshair lock and indicators guide you directly to the center of hidden studs and metal fasteners.
• Haptic Vibration & Audio Alerts: Feel customizable vibration pulses and audio beeps that increase in frequency as you approach the stud.
• Adjustable Sensitivity Modes: Fine-tune detection thresholds (Low, Medium, High) to match your wall thickness, drywall, or plaster.
• Sensor Calibration Wizard: Built-in 8-motion calibration guide ensures your device's magnetometer delivers maximum accuracy every scan.
• Battery-Optimized Dark Mode: Clean, distraction-free utility interface designed for instant clarity on job sites or at home.

🛠️ PERFECT FOR DIY & HOME IMPROVEMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✓ TV Wall Mounting: Find solid framing studs to securely hold heavy wall brackets.
✓ Hanging Artwork & Heavy Mirrors: Prevent drywall tear-outs by anchoring directly into wood studs.
✓ Installing Shelves & Cabinets: Locate center points along wall studs for rock-solid anchors.
✓ Safe Drilling Check: Check for metal pipes, electrical conduits, and metallic junction boxes before you drill.
✓ Locating Screws & Nails: Pinpoint metal drywall anchors and fasteners beneath textured walls.

📖 3-STEP QUICK SCANNING GUIDE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Calibrate: Move your phone in a smooth figure-8 motion for 3 seconds before starting.
2. Position: Hold the back of your phone flat against the wall.
3. Slide Slowly: Glide the device horizontally across the wall. When the gauge spikes and the haptic alert activates, you’ve found a fastener or stud center!

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Device Hardware: This app requires a device with a built-in magnetic field sensor (magnetometer). If your device lacks this sensor, readings will not function.
• Detection Method: The app detects metallic fasteners (screws, nails, brackets) holding wooden studs in place, as well as metal framing, iron conduit, and pipes. It cannot detect bare wood directly without metallic fasteners.
